MILESTONES

Last night, a little bit after midnight in Chicago, Antagony & Ecstasy hit one of the grandest milestones in the life of any blog: its one millionth visitor.* I have taken a snapshot of the evidence, for all posterity to enjoy.


Thanks to all of you for helping me get there, especially you, visitor from Syndey, Australia, using Safari on a Linux machine. Here's to the next million!

I'm not certain if it's the best way to celebrate, but later today I'll be inaugurating a new series: since it is a slow time for new releases, it seemed like a good moment for a retrospective, and there's a filmmaker with a new movie just about six weeks out, and I've been thinking for awhile now that It might be a decent thing for this much-dismissed auteur to get his due critical tribute, even if that tribute largely consists of me finding variations of the phrase, "yes, this is awful, but in such a remarkably unique way!"

That's right, tonight is the kickoff of Antagony & Ecstasy's retrospective on the works of Tyler Perry.

Congrats Tim!

Congrats Tim! You are consistently my first port of call. Can't believe you reviewed Orca, it made my day.

Andrew Testerman said...

Congratulations! You deserve every hit, and at least one million more.

Also, Tyler Perry retrospective! This has me unreasonably excited. If it goes well, might I suggest a Nicholas Sparks retrospective timed to the release of The Lucky One?

Congrats! Never commented before but I think I've read about 80% of all the reviews you've ever written. You've been very influential in my film education - thanks and keep up the good work!

Tim said...

Thanks everybody!

Andrew- IF it goes well, I have already been nursing that very idea.

Kevin J. Olson said...

Yup. You're one of the very best. Nicely done, my friend.

Matt said...

Excellent! I don't always agree with what you say, but you never fail to get me interested in every single thing you've watched.

На здоровья, Timothy! You deserve every single one of those views. Here's to many, many more!

Congratulations Tim!

And if it wasn't for you, I never would have watched "Sleepaway Camp".

So there's that. ;)
